There are a lot of firsts this time around - the first Marvel film, the first superhero film and the first animated Spider-Man media for Sam and Boris to discuss! In this case - and also because of the theme of extra-dimensional assistance - they have enlisted the help of film and media connoisseur, James King! The trio talk about the origins of Spider-Man and the importance of Sam Raimi to the continued popularity of the web-slinger before they continuously praise this masterpiece of an animated film (for the most part). James, Sam and Boris talk at length about the variety of themes, voice acting talent and inventive crew before ordering their thoughts in rankings and mulling over possible recasts - truly a difficult job! As you're listening to this episode, just imagine you yourself are in New York, experiencing some of the glitches and weird technical effects that made this film so memorable - hit play, enjoy the ramblings and create some (graffiti) art.
